Reviews

This somewhat eccentric work includes entries under the disciplines of biology, medicine, philosophy, and psychiatry. A page-long entry on "semantics" ex plains what is actually meant by the sentence, "Mary hit Alice." While in formative, this properly belongs in an encyclopedia of linguistics or logic, not in an already truncated social-science volume. Others of the entries are equal ly misplaced, and some are uneven in quality; 500 scholars contributed to the effort, but editorial control seems lack ing. While the publication of a work of interdisciplinary thought is welcome, users cannot rely on finding the expect ed. "Acculturation" refers the reader to the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences for further read inggood advice to follow for a first reading.
